Disclaimer
I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as for travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand at the time.
A couple things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt.

Debauchery and other divinities
On Friday, Shady passed to me the pipe-of-resonant-thoughts, and I witnessed the blues ooze like warm brie off of Alan Norman's celestial accordian, and The Warratahs were wicked.
On Saturday, we defied gravity (and other myths) and narrowly dodged Sunday; the turn-tables got dizzy, the burlesque danced, and the keg poured Strong Ale until it passed out, at which point medium-white wine braced the insides of our skulls against pending implosion. We slept lustily.
I'm loathe to return to a normal day.

Okay, I'm American
To those Kiwis that ask me what state I'm from... I'm from the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Canada has provinces, not states.
To those Kiwis that have asked me if I'm from Canada, or asked me where I'm from... I'm impressed that you didn't assume I'm "American".
To those Kiwis that don't ask, but explicitly assume I'm "American"... you really do intrigue me!
